Ithacas Mean Impressive bedroom pop with prog flourishes. onevoice seamlessly combines the replayability of pop with brain-tickling complexity. Favorite track: Blue Fire.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) So this one is from Alan Benjamin's collection, too, constituting Dan Costello's third and most recent release. I fully agree with "Timek" - can't put it any better, and just want to add my favorite slogan "a melody is worth a thousand riffs". This is prog how it really should be, and how it was in a time long ago when they called it "art rock" - unusual music that touches the soul while keeping the mind busy. Favorite track: Sky Flashes Red.
Timek

Timek Wonderful music, thank you! I like all the songs, the piano textures, the moogs, the dreamy voices… I listen to british progressive rock since many years. The american stuff was always too labored for me, but your music has this easy floating soul in the complex arrangements. And there are melodies, not only technique. Just good music for head and soul. Favorite track: Blue Fire.

You ever just watch the trees as if they were moving? Every detail spins as time stops And in that moment you forget you have a body "Come back to me", it says, why is it so hard? But it's alright Show them it's alright Yeah it's alright... Memory capturing it's own interpretation Have we ever really seen anything? A flat dead image like a flimsy piece of paper Creeping in the gap between what's real and what's left But it's alright Show them it's alright Yeah it's alright... All things exist inside the whitest background Error is your mind's intention to tell you what they mean Joy grows inside you with the realization Nothing's ever what you name it, leave it as it is

A crack in the wall Just big enough to peer through A garden, a small house And you dancing Inside a field of flowers And those neighborhood streets The smell of fire at nighttime The way you feel when you leave a play Suddenly made sense Why am I here? Who am I here? What do I feel? Although I know I know, I know And I learned to dance Watching her hair become the wind And her voice the trees And the way she smiled The windows to their houses Revealing their strange kitchens And at last I saw A glimpse of her heart Only for a split second How beautiful it was Mixed with my eyes Why are you here? Who are you here? What do you feel? Although you know You know, you know Climb inside my heart Climb inside my heart... Getting closer to you Getting closer to you Getting closer to you Getting closer to you... I love you so, I love you so I love you so, I love you so...

Blue Fire 04:04
I can see that Fire in your eyes Loving passion burning from inside Touching softly Hand on my head Don't know how I ever could forget You Falling softly Through this dream Tell me once more What this means Through the lyrics Sing what lies In a fire that Never dies Shine your eyes Find a reason Understanding Lines from a page Love is all that's real I'd hear you say Speaking softly Prayers on my bed Know the one I never will forget Falling softly Through this dream Tell me once more What this means Through the lyrics Sing what lies In a fire that Never dies Shine your eyes Find a reason

Forest 02:21
Are you my forest hiding from me? Do you feel worried? What do you need? Inside your small world, you look to your left Excitement swallows the tears on your lap Though you don't see me, I'm right by your side A dripping memory is mine to remind This lonely treehouse of yours I'm inside

Have you ever wrote a song in darkness Suddenly its in the light? Have you ever wondered where the fear goes Once you make it out alive? Have you ever looked back on a memory From a higher light? Don't you worry If the sky flashes red All a vision Of a dream in your head Be a silent mirror Be a silent watcher Be that silence Do you ever try to understand it The way it makes you feel When the moon is high above you And its daylight still? Don't you worry If the sky flashes red All a vision Of a dream in your head You are but a flower Simple is undoing In silence You pray for peace Let lack of love Come up to be healed Living In a new context Old lies but a memory If the Truth, isn't something you hold But something that holds you Hold out your hand, open your eyes Have faith in Love. Awareness Is your silent strength A safely waking dreamer

Sprinklers 04:06
I never had a girl remind me so much Of sprinklers in the summer Trees that seemed to shimmer Balancing the light and dark inside me I never heard a voice that moved me like yours A train ride by the window The books I bought you told me You'll never heal the sadness in her eyes Rewind until it starts making sense Bring up the haunting thoughts that still linger Until the sadness inside melts away I'll never be loved The way in silent movies you get to choose I chose what it would sound like You telling me its alright A mother deep inside a lonely girl And on the phone you said how happy I seemed The mind won't understand it You washed away it's sadness Replaced it with a softly glowing flame I thank you for what you've done to me Now I'm back in touch with the child inside me I'll always be here for you as a friend You'll always be loved You'll be loved...

On the Path 05:24
Come inside Leave your mind to me I know you've always been afraid You can rely On a Guide That knows you I'll never let you be alone Holy Spirit Guide this mind Don't deny negativity All the light that you seek is underneath Be in touch with the shadow Leave it all to the One Who Knows what you are In this pain All the light has left me I know it has to feel this way Trust in Love Any variation Of fear is just another lie Holy Spirit Guide this mind Let's embrace positivity Move ahead, let the past inside you heal Letting go of the shoreline Ride the wave as the soul just wants to be free Don't forget All of the reasons why You came here Taking your brothers with you

Perfect 04:06
This love is dangerous and that's why its beautiful Its just so effortless and calming and beautiful You are my everything, my perfect, my beautiful Its a coincidence and that's why its beautiful There are no words for this because it is everything Its just so obvious and subtle, its everything You are my beautiful, my perfect, my everything Your light the purest white, its covering everything Only from up above do we see it clearly You love the other you that's present in everyone And I know in the end its always been Him and I

Do you want love, Do you want love, Do you want love or are you set on waiting? I feel light In your space Do you want love or are you set on waiting? Fall asleep in your arms We drift the moments Offering what we are Do you my love, Do you my love, Do you my love ever remember meeting? Like a stone From my hand You dove head first into an ocean All I am is what you Have been avoiding Let my wings touch your eyes Gently let yourself fall Below the person You've been thinking you are Darkness turns into gold If only you would Trust the Love that you Are Are you my love, Are you my love, Are you my love or am I set on waiting?
